charles,there are many ways to make an apple pie,if you know what i mean. the black powder cartridge is kinda the same, alot of experamenting and range time.to find the right combo. that your rifle likes. case in point, my m66 has a long chamber,so to get the bullet closer to the rifleing i have to use a 49-90 case trimed down to what the chamber needs. i could use std 45-70 cases but accuracy would suffer. the more questions you ask the more info you will get some good some ,well who knows, go slow, read alot .----charles
